Magic roots are the roots of the magic tree which is obtained with the Farming skill. Level 75 farmers may plant a magic seed in a tree patch, and once the tree has grown, the farmer may use an axe to chop the tree down to a stump, and then use a spade on the stump to dig up the tree roots, clearing the patch for another tree, and putting the magic root into the farmer's inventory. If the roots are not immediately dug up, the tree will respawn and it may be cut down again.
